Color of Yolk

orange is the color of Yolk

Sipping coffee from each side of

the coffee cup.

He lights a cigarette and inhales

Deeply –

holds it out for her

Shakes her head no,

to refuse

“but thanks anyway…”

The handle to his left,

three fingers thru the large ear,

thumb on top

She wraps both hands

around the cup,

Warmth,

Soothes the ache…

in her

knuckles –

the best

eggs –

orange is the color

of

yolk
